Answer to Question 1

All of these performance rights organizations (PRO) represent songwriters and publishers who collect royalties for the public performance of their member's copyrighted material. These companies sell licenses and collect royalties as well from radio and television stations and others. The royalties are then distributed to the publishers and authors of the songs. ASCAP is the largest, SESAC is the smallest in terms of membership.

Answer to Question 2

This is a matter of opinion, but when discussed in terms of the Standard Art Consignment Agreement, the discussion becomes more clear. Museums frequently pay for the right to display artwork in their facilities and often charge a fee for doing so. As such, one can make a strong argument that artwork, in this context, is indeed a form of entertainment.
